Abstract
Using metal granules, which are waste products of the metal industry, as a replacement material in mortars, is economically productive and environmentally beneficial because it contributes to reduction of the amount of the metal waste. It was attempted to develop and produce metal granule reinforced cementitious composite instead of using conventional fibers. Metal wastes bonded to the matrix with the help of adhesion effect is aimed to improve the mechanical and deformation properties of the mortar. As the amount of metal waste increased in the mortar, the compressive strength of the mortars except those with 10% granules enhanced. The rise in the maximum stress values of the samples and the growth in the modulus of elasticity were similar. 30% metal waste mortar demonstrated the highest value of compressive strength and modulus of elasticity in this study.
